The Whole Empire Raises Me - Chapter 45
The author has something to say: After the revision, the whole chapter is new content, it is recommended to re-
“I think I borrow so much at a time, of course I have to pay it back, and I better have interest…” Wen Xingze really wanted to control his mouth, but it was too late.
The man agreed with him: “Yes. How about twice the interest?”
At first, Wen Xingze thought he was a living bodhisattva who would save all living beings. Now he is almost crying. Is this a loan shark? How can he afford forty thousand chips?
Wen Xingze: “…I think this matter can be discussed again!”
The man didn’t speak, he slightly pressed his lips and turned his face away, no longer looking at Wen Xingze. His shoulders shook slightly, as if laughing.
This scene once again made Wen Xingze feel an indescribable familiarity. Is it Chi Yan? ……Although it is not impossible, this is another universe.
Today, Chi Yan has other jobs, which seems to be related to the casting of “One Day”. He left home very early, but he sent Wen Xingze WeChat to remind him to eat at 12 o’clock at noon.
While Wen Xingze was thinking about these things, the floating ladder quickly descended to the most lively third floor.
The door slowly opened to both sides, and loud and loud voices and cheers poured out like a tide. Apparently, a very exciting and fierce game ended just a few gaming tables.
The warm reminder of the floating ladder sounds:
“Bee——Welcome to the third floor of the underground casino, please take the initiative to show your 10,000 chips.”
The man didn’t rush out, but looked sideways and said to Wen Xingze: “No interest, but there are conditions.”
Wen Xingze: “What conditions?”
“The next three games, you can only play against me, if you win twice first, all my chips will be given to you.”
The man’s **** held a translucent card and shook. The original blank card flickered, and a fluorescent blue number appeared. It showed that he now has 1.76 million chips, which is currently the first in the entire casino. One.
“There is such a good thing?” Wen Xingze was finally cautious.
The man said meaningfully: “The prizes and chips are not very attractive to you.”
The boiling and bustling of the entire casino, everyone’s desire to win or lose is only for one person.
They cheered for victory and frustrated for defeat. Everyone wanted to get as many chips as possible, as if they would get closer to their king.
Except Wen Xingze.
Of course he will not be attracted by prizes.
Therefore, in the eyes of other guests, the bargaining chip is nothing but a pass for Wen Xingze to go to the second, third and fourth floors.
Wen Xingze: “What if I lose? I don’t have 1.76 million chips to give you.”
The man said indifferently: “If I win twice first, within your abilities, satisfy one of my wishes.”
This kind of gambling is called “conditional gambling” in which guests customize their own rules. Underground casinos are recognized and protected by casino rules. As long as both parties are willing, the chips do not have to be chips.
One hundred and seventy-six million chips… and a wish… Wen Xingze can be sure at this time that this person has known him a little before, and no one will make a wish to a stranger who meets across the river for no reason.
In fact, the bargaining chip doesn’t matter, maybe you can use this to see through this person’s true face.
Wen Xingze took the silver bargaining chip: “Happy cooperation.”
The little robot hovering at the door made a beep, and determined that the condition of the game was established.
At the same time, all the little robots on the entire third floor shook their bells, making the whole noisy third floor quiet, and all the guests were paying attention:
“Jingjingling-the total number of chips in the conditional gambling game exceeds one million, please go to the three-story central gambling table for guest 5 and guest 31378!”
At the other end of the Capital Star, the floating clock over the Star Harbor passed six o’clock quietly.
The live broadcast and games of “Cubs Development Plan” stopped in the morning, and the robots could not find the current location of the cubs through the game or the live broadcast.
But as the guiding parents this time, they still have a privilege that can help them find the cubs faster.
The destination they chose for Zai Zai was Xinggang, but according to the transition error of one light-year, Zai Zai could land on any position of Capital Star.
Robots are best at waiting. They sit in a row, waiting with some expectation and joy, quietly and tenderly.
The light tower told them that the cubs are expected to arrive between seven and eight o’clock, and now there are forty minutes before seven o’clock-this countdown is suspended in the center of every planet in the Muse Empire, and you can see it everywhere you look up.
They will be able to see him in less than an hour.
“Zub Zai, who is beside me.”
Turning on the terminal on No. 015, he clicked a little sluggishly. After about three seconds, the light screen projected by the terminal began to flash with many buoys.
The colors of the buoys are mainly distinguished by nationality. The Muse’s buoy is blue, but among the large areas of blue, there are several different colors on the light screen.
There are gnomes, merfolk, dragons, kinsmen… Currently the closest to the cubs is…
Looking at the buoy whose color is different from that of all the other muses, the robots suddenly stood up, and the warning light specially set up for the danger of puppies in puppies came on!
At 6:20 in the evening, the third floor of the underground casino.
The casino started at four o’clock in the afternoon. Most of the first group of guests had already accumulated more than 100,000 chips. Now is the time when the casino is most lively.
This kind of excitement will continue at seven o’clock, because the light tower predicts that Zai Zai will come between 7 and 8 o’clock.
There is a central gaming table on each floor from the second to the fourth. The central gaming table will only be opened when the central AI determines that the size of the game is large enough. Because everyone has made enough money on the third floor to challenge the dealer on the fourth floor, the central gaming table on the third floor has not been opened today.
Who would have thought that the opening of the table is a huge bet of millions of chips!
Because of the opening of the central gaming table, all the surrounding wall lamps and ceiling lights went out in turn, and finally the spotlight above the central gaming table came on, and four beams of light enveloped both sides of the gaming table and the croupier and table respectively.
Wen Xingze and the man sat on both sides of the central gaming table, and the floating light screen above their heads showed their data:
Number 5, 1,760000 chips;
No. 31378, 20100 chips.
Eight miniature cameras focus on the central gaming table. Like every betting game at the central gaming table on the fourth floor, this one will also be broadcast to the entire underground city and online casino channels.
After a few seconds of silence, various discussions around the central gaming table quickly exploded!
“One thousand seven hundred and sixty thousand?! I remember that the initial chip limit was only 30,000, how did he do it, the dwarf clan chief on the fourth floor was only more than 900,000.”
“stimulate.”
“What’s the point of betting on conditions today?”
“This number 31378…”
“…”
Wen Xingze had never been to a casino before, but he suddenly became the focus of the whole story. Fortunately, he had a cloak and a mask.
Across the long gaming table, the man looked at Xingze blankly, and the two looked at each other for several seconds, a silent atmosphere flowing between the gaming tables.
Although Wen Xingze was confused.
——If he remembers correctly, this is just a prize for a fan-oriented activity around the hand. Why is the atmosphere like a 1080P reset version of “God of Gamblers” interstellar that costs hundreds of billions of dollars and stakes two lives?
What pushed this silent atmosphere to its climax was the opening of the four-story three-story floating ladder.
The gambling at the central gaming table on the fourth floor has just ended. As everyone guessed, the dwarf clan patriarch Eli won, and the mermaid clan once again lost all their chips.
Eli came out surrounded by the attendants, his wizard-like robe dragged to the ground, and the little boy knocked his pipe on the table, his voice was steady: “The conditional gambling with more than a million chips? I’ll be the croupier. .”
The brown-haired and green-haired boy first looked at Number Five, then glanced at Xingze, then took his gaze back in a few seconds, behaving as normal.
His hand holding the pipe shook slightly.
The boy was stunned for only a second, then quickly put his hand into the wide sleeve. Immediately afterwards, Eli called the little robot and asked the little robot to take the pipe away, and then the boy peeled off the lollipop and held it in his mouth.
… Wang doesn’t like the smell of smoke.
After the croupier was replaced, the audience’s sight became more and more complicated, and a great scene at the central gaming table was about to begin.
The other gambling rounds on the entire third floor were suspended, and all eyes were focused on this place.
“What to bet on,” Eli shuffled the cards. “Stud? There seems to be a novice among the two.”
Wen Xingze raised his hand: “It’s me, I’m a good cook, I don’t know what Stud is.”
Eli: “…”
Audiences:”…………”
The index finger of the man opposite Wen Xingze tapped on the desktop.
“The bargaining chip for this game.” The man said, throwing a small tube of light green reagent into the bargaining area, “Who wins.”
The intelligent robot scans the chip area and determines that the conditional chips meet the regulations, and the game is established.
Eli raised an eyebrow.
Everyone obviously recognized it, it turned out to be a green orange!
Wen Xingze was shocked. Can the casino use green oranges? Isn’t this foul?
A green orange user can see the voice of those who like him. If he wins the green orange, according to the casino’s initial chip exchange rules, can he see the voice of the audience in the next three hours?
“I want to win now,” Wen Xingze touched his forehead through the mask and murmured, “What are you betting on?”
Eli glanced at him with a look of hatred for iron and steel, like an old father who was looking at his son who had been smitten by beauty, even though Eli was only five years old.
Soon the dwarf looked away.
Wen Xingze: “?”
Opposite the gaming table.
The man leaned back on the back of the chair and said in a loose voice: “Toss a coin.”
Wen Xingze found it strange, and at the same time eager to try: “Isn’t tossing a coin a bit too unskilled?”
Man: “What about Stud?”
Wen Xingze: “Let’s flip a coin.”
Eli snapped his fingers, and soon the intelligent robot came over with a box of silver coins. Eli picked up a coin and raised it to the audience and the camera to double check that the coin was normal, and then tossed the coin high. Hold down.
Everyone held their breath.
Wen Xingze: “True.”
Man: “Reverse.”
The young dealer sighed and slowly removed the palm of his hand. The coin facing up was a rose pattern representing the king.
…Is the opposite.
There were several sighs in the audience, as if everyone could not help but stand on Wen Xingze’s side, even if he could not tell who he was.
Wen Xingze was unsuccessful in starting a teacher, so he could only watch as No. 5 took away the green orange and pressed it behind his ear at will. Between the first game and the second game, Wen Xingze looked at the man again, and then he seemed to see his pale silver eyes narrowed slightly.
He seemed to see Xingze’s heart.
But Wen Xingze couldn’t be too sure.
What is his voice saying now? Wen Xingze thought, maybe he was saying, ‘what is his heart’s voice saying now?’…Forget it, the matryoshka.
“The chips in the second game are up to me,” Wen Xingze said, asking the little robot to get the polygraph and place it in the chip area. “The chips are’a question’. The winner can ask the loser a question. Can’t lie.”
Man: “Yes.”
Eli again tossed the coin high and held it down.
Wen Xingze’s pupils watched the coin firmly, watching the glittering light on the coin.
Perhaps he was infected by the atmosphere. At that moment, his brain and thoughts suddenly became very clear, and even the noise in his ears was close to disappearing.
“Positive.” Wen Xingze said.
The man’s eyes were calm: “The opposite.”
Eli slowly moved his palm away.
This time, the goddess of luck stood on Wen Xingze’s side, and the number one facing upwards. The whole third floor cheered instantly!
The robot puts the polygraph under the palm of the man, and if the man lies, the polygraph will send out a harsh alarm.
When Wen Xingze put forward the bargaining chip, he didn’t actually think about the question carefully, because he wanted to ask too much.
Wen Xingze pondered for a moment and asked: “You…”
The man made a gesture of listening.
Asking certain questions under the attention of so many people may be exposed. Wen Xingze did not say it immediately, but tried to think in his heart: “Can I ask you this way?”
The man was startled, and after a moment, he nodded slightly.
He can really see Wen Xingze’s voice!
Wen Xingze was shocked.
This is a person that Wen Xingze likes. In this universe, this country, people who meet this requirement are not uncommon, but Wen Xingze can’t think of anyone with light silver eyes.
Wen Xingze didn’t feel it when he used the green orange at the time. Only then did he realize that when people realize that their own heart will be fully understood by another person, this feeling is simply too…too…
Wen Xingze’s brain began to be confused, and all kinds of thoughts that were absent quickly jumped out: for example, he brushed his teeth this morning and accidentally used shampoo as toothpaste. For example, the spring rolls made by Chi Yan last night are really delicious. I know when the robot parents will come to him. For example, is this number five Chi Yan, why is Chi Yan here, and what is his wish to achieve? How did his eyes turn silver? These thoughts are all taken by the opposite person Saw……
Number five: “…”
Obviously, people who are too detached have caused a lot of trouble.
The man had to loosen the mask briefly, rubbed his temples, and put on the mask again.
Wen Xingze’s brain was very confused and confused, but the surface was still quite calm. He heard the robot start counting down: “The countdown is one minute, and the timeout is regarded as the 31378 guest giving up the bargaining chip won in this game. Sixty seconds, five Nineteen…”
Eli held two coins, his palms lightly closed and made a crisp sound, passing by Wen Xingze. The sound of the coin colliding made Wen Xingze recover in an instant. He didn’t know when a lollipop had been put in his palm.
Wen Xingze opened the sugar paper, and he saw a sentence written on the back of the sugar paper.
Wen Xingze held the lollipop in his mouth and looked across the gaming table. The man maintained his original posture, except that the translucent bargaining chip was sandwiched between the **** of his right hand, looking at it, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wen Xingze finally calmed down. He thought about it for a while before asking a question in his mind.
The man over there paused and said, “It’s not just me, there are about four on the third floor.”
The polygraph did not make a sound, he was telling the truth, and the countdown to the robot stopped.
The audience was at a loss: “?”
Is this the end? What question did you just ask? !
Wen Xingze nodded.
Eli cleared his throat and signaled the start of the third game: “Do you also flip a coin in the third game? What is the bargaining chip this time?”
Two wins in three games, the first two sentences Wen Xingze and No. 5 each win, this sentence will determine the final outcome of the conditional game.
The rhythm of this gambling game worth more than one million chips is so fast that the attention of all the guests of the entire underground casino is attracted by it-of course, not only because of the gambling game.
Countless eyes were gathered on No. 31378. He was sitting under the spotlight. He was somewhere between a teenager and a young man. He wore a snow-white fox mask and his cloak was lowered, but there were still strands of hair rising from under the brim of his hat.
The most important thing is those eyes.
The eyes were light amber, and there seemed to be ochre moles at the end of the eyes.
Every Muse citizen will not mistake it, but he is not sure. And that’s why they are here and now, standing in this tens of thousands of meters underground casino.
Number Five said: “Toss a coin.”
“It’s too boring to just bet on chips,” Wen Xingze spoke first, his eyes lightened a little inexplicably, “Betting on something else.”
The man opposite nodded again.
If Mi Mingyou, the hapless reporter of the Pineapple News, was here, he would definitely find Wen Xingze’s eyes at this time so familiar, anyway, that’s what people with normal brain circuits would have.
Eli: “For example?”
Wen Xingze’s voice was loose, and he reached out and tapped the edge of his fox mask: “The third game, those who lose, take off the mask.”
“…”
“!!!”
The entire four floors of the underground casino, whether they were originally onlookers or hurriedly walking in the corridors, including countless people in the universe watching online broadcasts, opened their eyes a little at this second and cast incredible eyes on him. .
In that indescribable silence.
The man across from the gambling table pushed all the chips into the chip area and said quietly:
“Happy cooperation.”
Chapter 46 The memories that appeared in the previous forty-five chapters, I have read Do not buy, the content of the revision is in the previous chapters
The author has something to say: it is the memory killing of the robot parents and the cubs (because of the reasons for the revision of the text, it can be regarded as an extra), not the main story of the casino, and the main line is written in the next chapter.
This chapter was originally written in Chapter 45 (2,500 words), but from Chapter 43, it is the new content after the revision (about 7,000 words, which is the first revision afterwards The previous plot continues to write), and there is no meaning to cheat money. If everyone really thinks that I am cheating money by repeating the subscription, I can leave a negative score. I will return all of them in the form of red envelopes. I am very sorry, bow.
I sincerely apologize to everyone about the revision of the text. I am an unqualified and unexcellent author. Sometimes I can’t control the plot, so the previous vacillation appeared. Now after the revision is back, I decide to write it in this direction. The article will work hard to write to the end. The full text is expected to be between 400,000 and 500,000 words. It will be serialized for about one to two months. Thanks to the readers who are still willing to continue to support the little angels, and also thank the readers who decided to abandon the article. Accompaniment along the way, bow again.
On November 1st three years ago, Wen Xingze remembered that he had just bought the lottery ticket the day before yesterday, but he suffered a robbery and broke his leg because he was born poor. The money in the lottery could only be used as medicine. fee.
So every day I lay in the hospital with nothing to do.
He downloaded “Desolate” from his phone. The game was completely black at the beginning. He fumbled in the dark for a long time before lighting up the first light.
Soon after, he went to the garbage recycling station closest to the barren star to find some resources that could be used to build a small town, but he heard a faint mechanical sound in the ruins: “Bee–the self-destruction program is being started–”
The game system reminded him to run away quickly, otherwise he would be affected by the self-destructive attack of the killing robot.
He found in the game data that the PN-4 killing robot was a robot that once caused the entire universe to panic, especially the numbers 008 to 011, which have no normal ethical concepts.
But Wen Xingze was also very bold at the time. He just went back to his levitator to find a blanket and hurried back to the recycling bin.
There is no wind and no moon on this day, and the garbage recycling station is a bit terrifyingly dark. The robots have all their limbs removed, leaving only the head of the core center. A bunch of blue light flashes randomly, and the deeper part is curled up. A naked young man with long curly hair hanging down to his ankles.
The robot that once dominated the universe, the final destination is such a small, dilapidated garbage recycling station.
I don’t know what they are thinking about, or whether they will be unwilling to live for killing, and finally die for killing. The meaning of life is all related to death. In fact, in the eyes of the group of scientists who invented them, robots cannot be called ‘life’, they can only be said to be some very useful weapons.
As soon as Wen Xingze approached, all the robots started beeping and alarming, and the iris turned red: “Attack-attack-destroy the nearest living body -”
There were also other people who had approached the garbage collection station before, and they all fled in fright at this time, but the robots soon realized that this young man was different.
He picked up the metal head of Fangfang No. 015, fumbled a bit, and found the button to shut down.
“Don’t make a noise,” Wen Xingze said, “If you make any noise, take down your energy bars.”
Robots: “…”
Why is he not afraid of them? !
Why is he so fierce? !
These are two problems that have plagued the robots for a long time in the early days, especially the number 011. The most violent character 008 opened his eyes, and the first second he saw Wen Xingze, he said in an extremely cold tone: “I will kill you and then destroy this world.”
However, Wen Xingze looked at him curiously for a while and asked: “How long have your symptoms lasted?” He pointed to the second disease.
No. 008: “???”
And Wen Xingze said: “My country just needs some new residents. Are there any domestic robots among you?”
No. 008 dumbly repeated the key words: “Housekeeping, robot?”
“A robot that can do housework, cook and cook, sweep the floor, and serve tea and water.” Wen Xingze said.
Now the scientific community roughly divides robots into several categories: killing, housekeeping, labor…Of course, the development of killing robots was banned a long time ago, but there are still many countries that secretly violate taboo regulations.
As the first of all robots, No. 008 is an extremely aggressive anthropomorphic robot. His eyes are a dark gray that is thicker than smoke.
He said disdainfully and proudly: “I really don’t know how to do housework, cooking, cooking, but I can kill people, I can use particle cannons, anti-matter cannons, and can ignore all laser reflection stealth instruments. My fighting ability -”
Wen Xingze showed a very disappointed expression.
No. 008: “…”
This is a moment when all the robots feel extremely frustrated.
The rest of the people will only show joy and greed when they hear that they are extremely capable of fighting. Killing is the only meaning of their existence and what they are best at. Now what they are best at is denied? !
They were angry, they were incredible, they swayed between whether or not to kill this overweight young man, until Wen Xingze wrapped the naked No.011 with a blanket and backed the levitator.
Number 008 was sluggish for a while, and shouted behind him: “Humans, Number 011 can’t do housekeeping! His fighting ability is not even as good as mine!”
The robots looked at his leaving back, and felt an unspeakable emotion, like a little bit of loss and a little bit of sourness. I don’t know why No. 011 was selected. Number 011 just looks gentle, he will kill Wen Xingze without mercy, everyone thinks.
This young man may not come back again, and their energy bar is about to run out. This is what happened on the last night of their lives, which is really absurd.
But Wen Xingze returned soon.
He turned them off on No. 015 and moved them back to the levitator. Finally, he backed them back from No. 008 to No. 010 one by one. Without even asking their personal wishes, he pretentiously declared: “You are the first of the muses. Approve the people.”
Robots: “…”
This is almost like a game of kings, everyone didn’t take what he said seriously at first.
But it is amazing that all robots began to learn housework spontaneously and with great effort, even if they had so despised housekeeping robots.
Wen Xingze went to the garbage collection station on that trip. In addition to the robots, he also picked up some books, such as “Simple and Delicious Three Hundred Dao Home Cooking” and “Puzzling Home Economics: Organizing Life”. A parenting bible “Affecting a Baby’s Life”.
Out of some magical psychology, they kept these books well.
No. 011 first learned to boil water. He squatted by the kettle for a whole day, boiling water that he could not use for a year.
Then No. 015 learned to use a broom on the same night.
Finally, it was No. 008, who had been studying in the kitchen for a long time. One day three months later, he walked out in disgrace, holding a plate of dark egg fried rice.
Wen Xingze finished the egg fried rice and seriously commented: “It’s delicious.”
Snow began to fall outside the window again, and Wen Xingze looked at them, his eyes curled a little.
Like a galaxy falling in his eyes.
Anthropomorphic robots do not have human emotions, so they will not feel joy.
But the scorching heat flowing between the core centers is incomparable. It seems that they also have a living heart, which is agitated. The emotional data that exceeds the upper limit is as strong as a mountain whistling and a tsunami, and it instantly drowns them.
“There may be something wrong with my core program,” 008 turned around slowly and said, “I’ll fix it.”
And Wen Xingze laughed happily: “No, you are just shy.”
The robots were stunned.
Everything went forward logically. In the fourth month, Wen Xingze picked up the dwarf scientist in Xinggang.
This group of grotesque little people who look like five or six years old, they have delicate faces, holding dice, wine glasses and cigarettes in their hands, wearing robes like wizards, wrinkled like ghosts parasitic in the soil Eyebrows hurried past.
When the dwarf scientists first arrived, the robots were shocked, thinking that Wen Xingze actually had an illegitimate child outside, and only later learned that the dwarves were ten times older than Wen Xingze.
On November 1st of the second year of the Muse’s establishment, a group of strange residents came to this planet, including blind officers. In order to commemorate this day, the robots looked through the dictionary for a long time, suggesting that Wen Xingze name it “Guangsong Festival”.
In fact, Wen Xingze originally wanted to name it ‘Roasted Chicken Leg Festival’, because No. 008 finally learned to grill chicken leg after a year.
Finally, it was called the Guangci Festival.
In the next three years in reality, during the 30 years of the cosmic era, Wen Xingze will definitely be online every November 1st, just like family members must be reunited on New Year’s Eve and Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wen Xingze is not a particularly observant character, but this habit has been persisted.
He wants to light up the first light after the Galaxy goes out for his parents.
